HCC GPU Launched.

Interesting... plug in a monitor or a dummy plug and reboot...

Monitor pluged in and rebooted twice and still nothing

Windows is detecting both and they're displaying something?

Yes and yes, both montiors got picture.
Could reinstalling the driver help?

Can anyone provide the power draw on a 7770 HCC only load? I'd like to see the difference in KWh/WU between that and my 570 on this project.

1:52 to 2:34 min/wu with gpu oc and cpu oc'ed to 4.2 [154 watts total] 123 watts before gpu kicks in, so 31 watts.

Without SLI/crossfire enabled and with no "monitor" connected, the GPU won't be able to crunch. This is an old school trick from F@H people had to do. I don't frequent the WCG forums long enough to see if this has been tried yet, but I suspect we may need to dummy plug the odd GPU out...

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, guys, I've yet to test this myself.

That's actually wrong. My Core i7-860/GTX460 setup has a pair of GTX460s. There is a SLI bridge on the cards (I enable SLI when I game on it), but SLI is disabled, and only the first card has a monitor hooked up to it. Both crunch at the same speed

I used a GTX 570 and 2 GTX 260 C216s without an SLI bridge and 1 monitor and never had any problems running PrimeGrid on them. There was an issue years ago with F@H, but as far as I recall it was fixed in 2009. I ran both 260s on F@H without any issues with 1 monitor.

I think I ran across this when I was dabbling with Nvidia and crunching GPU Grid a while back.

Try this in your cc_config.xml file:

<cc_config>
<options>
<use_all_gpus>1</use_all_gpus>
</options>
</cc_config>

That did it
Thanks a lot

nice one artemm

Just looking at the stats over at WCG. Might be time for the GPUGrid boys to come home coz to take on the next step up in the dailies will need the team output to more than double. Easynews, however, appears to be history at history point.

no linux gpu crunching yet and that is what our big gun (Stoneageman) is running.

[jspace]

Just for another data point, my GTX 460's are averaging about 6 minutes per workunit and claiming 33 credits each. That calculates out to around 55000 WCG/day. I recall during the beta I was getting 55 credits/WU so something has changed there.

If the Radeon 7770 really can do 150k/day then that's likely the card to go with. I'm seeing them on sale here in Canada for as low as $99!

Don't beta WU typically credit higher than normal?

Also an update on mine. It seems my initial estimate was low. The last WU just finished at 3:12

Never noticed that before with beta's.

Thanks for pointing this out! Now I know that I won't want to use Mint on my new i7-920/GTX470 build. Windows 7 x64 "SE-W-E" it is

Yes. When the GPU WUs were in beta, they were worth ~56 points each, now they're worth ~34. Still amazing, but a bit less so

We need more ATI GPU's running on our team fast

I've got an HD6850 I'll get online soonish. I have to reinstall win7 first

It'll come, but when is another question entirely.

[OldChap]

I will have to do the same ...changing 1 rig to win 7 then changing the accounts around some is how I feel I will do this just now However that is before I run the 775 ddr2-800 rig @3.3 vs the 1155 ddr3-2000 @4.8 test. I still have not put this on a Kill a Watt either but on that at least I am hopeful. I think I have 5 hd 5870's all ready to go...... Should be good to add 70K to my current 25K ppd... I have the slots.... and probably the psu's just need a few more cards if I can afford the power.

It will be the power use that determines if I need to sell these cards and buy newer faster better here

[bluestang]

This was a rig (Work PC in sig) that normally would only run 12-14k WCG PPD going 24/7:

Let me know if you are going to sell. I can put one in my Work PC for with free electricity.

So my question on this -how long are the HCC WUs going to last? Are we going to eat them all up then have a bunch of left over GPUs?

Not trying to rain on the parade - just want to know before I start making plans!

And thanks for all the GPU numbers guys!

[Movieman]

old_chap, shame your so far away.. I could use another 5870..
460GTX..6.5 mins
5870..4 mins
Oh, and I won't take away anyones joy but Xs did over 20 million yesterday and is looking at 23 million today..
I might even hit a million..Now that is funny!
Off to help out a friend..later guys..

I want to join you guys again so much. Just have to wait out for a little while longer until the asic's get here and I'll be on full force. with ~1.8 million wcg a day. Very thankful to see WCG find a use for my soon to be otherwise useless 59/870's.

[Conquistador SW]

I am wondering how the 7750 would do as it uses the same chip as the 7770, only 512SP vs 640SP and 800 MHz vs 1000 MHz compare to the 7770. I could buy 3 (I have an empty socket 1366 board) for the price of 2 7770's and they use almost half the power at full load per card, so 3 7750's should use less power than 2 7770.

[hendermd]

I found a post on the WCG boards reporting about 4 min/wu for a 7750.

It's nice what a shiny new GPU will do.

10/02/2012 0:000:02:11:26 1,591 4

The best part is that, from what I remember, it "only" adds about 60W to power usage while crunching. Like a dumb***, I forgot to check the wattage before the switch.
